Spark is a new age, fresh idea. It touches upon various areas of creativity and culture which makes reading it a whole lot of fun! A splendid initiative! Congratulations on turning three… We wish you all the very best! – Kamakshi and Vishala Khurana, founders, The Sound Space
“What I love about Spark is the soul behind this little magazine that is not so little in its reach and ability to provide an afternoon’s worth of wholesome reading pleasure. The thoughtfully put together stories, poetry, features, interviews, etc. are unpretentious and come from the heart. And frankly speaking that is what sets Spark apart.” – Shikhandin, award-winning writer and poet
“Congratulations to Spark on completing three years when so many magazines are struggling to survive! It was a great honour to be featured in the magazine with an amazing line-up of talented Indian storytellers.” – Dr. Dipika Mukherjee, award-winning writer, author of ‘Thunder Demons’ and Professor at the Institute of Linguistic Studies, Shanghai International Studies University, Shanghai
“Congratulations to Spark on its 3rd anniversary. Anupama and her team have been doing a fantastic job in a wired world where it is easy to go with the flow. She and her team make Spark shine like a beacon. Well done!” – Rishad Saam Mehta, author of ‘Hot Tea Across India’
“Spark is an online magazine with a difference. As I learnt soon after being invited by Anupama to be part of it, the magazine chooses every theme with care and then the stories that appear on this are unusual and intriguing, exploring every aspect of the theme in different interesting ways. It was quite a learning experience and continues to be. There are of course many online magazines but Anupama and her team have managed to make Spark stand out, and this in itself is very inspiring and laudable. I am sure Spark will continue to be widely read, even more so, and am glad to have been part of it, in a small way.” – Anu Kumar, award-winning writer, author of ‘It Takes a Murder’, ‘Letters for Paul’ and ‘The Dollmakers’ Island’
“Congratulations to Spark for completing three years. It is a well curated online space for words. A considerable amount of thought and care has gone into the design to make the information and navigation easily accessible. I was impressed at the quality of questions that Anupama asked of me. The effort and research put in by the editorial team is meticulous. Today good content is appreciated. These qualities will make Spark sparkle in the long run. Good luck!” – Jaya Bhattacharji Rose, literary consultant and columnist
“Spark is a wonderful initiative with some interesting content. Hearty congrats to the Spark family and wishing you many milestones. May it grow even more in 2013.” – Preeti Shenoy, author of ‘The Secret Wishlist’, ‘Tea for Two and a Piece of Cake’, ‘Life is What you Make it’ and ’34 Bubblegums & Candies’
“Spark is a very unique initiative. Love the magazine and the passion with which they write their articles. I wish the team even greater success in their endeavours.” – Varun Agarwal, entrpreneur, co-founder of ‘Alma Mater’, ‘Reticular’ and ‘Last Minute Films’ and author of ‘How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-founded a Million Dollar Company’
“Spark has become a regular stop in my creative voyage when the days and its meat are not enough to inspire me. I myself have been ambitious of starting a magazine of art and literature for some time as I want to be the editor of that sort of magazine in my own language. Spark is really such an engaging art and literature magazine created with lots of visual, emotional and common sense. It represents the progressive landscape of contemporary creative minds. I personally enjoy in exploring its creative substance and presentation. My favourites in Spark are Story Board, Poetry and Social Lens. I am really excited when the team extends its hands of the spark to touch the bottom of Southern India, something which so many mainstream magazines of our country fail to do! Wishing you the best in all your creative endeavours in the coming year! – Kutti Revathi, feminist activist, poet, filmmaker
“My congratulations to the Spark team for completing three years. In an age where magazines sprout and die out within a matter of months, this is indeed a commendable achievement. It is apparent that the magazine has carved out a name for itself and has a loyal bunch of readers, may their tribe increase. I’m happy I was given an opportunity to be featured in this beautiful magazine, thank you, it was indeed an honour. Here’s wishing you many more anniversaries.” – Fehmida Zakeer, award-winning writer
“There is so much to read online these days. Very little to inspire, though. That is where Spark brightens things up considerably. Little nuggets assiduously gathered and then effortlessly scattered amongst its readers. The fact that it is a garden of good personally tended by Anupama is what makes it special. I enjoyed writing for it. I enjoy reading it.” – Swapan Seth, ad guru, CEO of ‘Equus Red Cell’ and author of ‘This is all I have to Say’
“There are many online magazines that are providing food for thought, however where Spark makes a difference is the way stories are conceptualized and tied together. The theme is well researched, the people involved are all well connected in their genre and the final flow of the story will nowhere give you the feel of strings being tied. It all flows beautifully, like a conversation with friends over coffee, nothing out of place, nothing wary and in the end leaves you with a smile on the face – both as a satisfied reader and yes, as a proud person who has been featured in there. Thank you Spark for your contributions to the literary sphere and needless to say I wish it just gets better in the coming years. Much love and warm hugs.” – Sagarika Chakraborty, author of ‘A Calendar Too Crowded’
“I am glad to see Spark celebrate its third year of quality online journalism. I am delighted to see the range of subjects and personalities that this magazine focuses on thereby making it an interesting and informative read. I wish the very best for Spark for the coming year and the years to come.” – Prasanna, internationally renowned guitarist, music composer and the Founder President of Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music
